Re: Exemption No. 5043G for FAR 47.69(8), Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2003-16779 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

This request was filed online at www.regulations.gov on November 22, 2013. This letter shall serve as a 

back-up to our online request. 

Effective May 2, 1989, the Department of Transportation of the Federal Aviation Administration granted 

Exemption No. 5042 from Section 47.69(b) of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 47.69(b)) to The 

Cessna Aircraft Company. The DOT extended this Exemption number on April 16, 1991 to Exemption No. 

5042A. However, on October 7, 1991, the DOT issued the following correction: Exemption No. 5042 should 

have been 5043; and the extension Exemption No. 5042A should have been 5043A. 

Subsequently, additional extensions have been granted Cessna Aircraft Company (formerly known as The 

Cessna Aircraft Company), including Exemption No. 50438, dated April 30, 1993; Exemption No. 5043C, 

dated March 27, 1995; Exemption No. 5043D dated April 18, 1997, Exemption No. 5043E dated April 2, 

1999, Exemption No. 5043F dated May 7, 2004, and Exemption No. 5043G which extended the exemption 

termination date to May 31, 2014. 

The reasons for Cessna's original petition of March 30, 1989, remain unchanged. Therefore, we ask that you 

accept this letter as Cessna Aircraft Company's formal request for an additional five year extension of 

Exemption Nos. 5043/5043A/5043B/5043C/5043D/5043E/5043F and 5043G through May 31, 2019. 

Please acknowledge your receipt of this request for extension by written correspondence or by executing 

and returning the enclosed copy of this letter to the undersigned. A self-addressed stamped envelope is 

enclosed. 

Thank you for your early attention to this request. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 

me at 316.517.650.5.

Dear Ms. Nestelroad: 

800 Independence Ave .. S.W. 

Washington. D.C. 20591 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 5043, 

as amended. It explains the basis for our decision and describes its effect. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated November 5, 20'08, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

on behalf of Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) for an extension of Exemption No. 5043, as 

amended. That exemption from§ 47.69(b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

allows Cessna to conduct flights outside the United States for flight testing and sales 

demonstration by using a Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate. 

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons 

regarding public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption. 

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition 

in the Federal Register. The requested extension of the exemption would not set a precedent, 

and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Cessna. 

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 5043, as 

amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, 

under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator 

has delegated to me, I grant your petition. 

AFS-09-083-E 
Conditions and Limitations 

Cessna Aircraft Company is granted an exemption from 14 CFR § 47.69(b) to the extent 

necessary to permit the use of Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificates outside the United 

States for demonstrating, testing, selling, and marketing its aircraft, subject to the following 

conditions and limitations: 

1. The aircraft must be owned by Cessna; 

2. The aircraft must have a temporary registration number or an assigned 

registration number affixed as provided by 14 CFR part 45; 

3. When the aircraft does not have a standard airworthiness certificate, permission 

of the host country (countries) must be obtained before flights to or through that 

country; 

4. Cessna shall maintain records of each international flight for a period of 1 year 

after the aircraft returns to the United States, such records to consist of: 

a. Registration number and manufacturer's serial number; 

b. Dates of departure and return to the United States; and 

c. General overseas itinerary. 

A copy of this letter should be attached to and is a part of Exemption No. 5043, as 

amended. The exemption must be carried in each aircraft operated outside the United States. 

The aircraft is hereby certified to be registered in accordance with the laws of the United 

States. 

This exemption terminates on May 31, 2014, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 

Sincerely, 

~?J,J'Pj~ John W. McGraw
